Sweeteners like aspartame have been intensely researched because the health scare that used to be around it, Is still considered totally safe so "Straight chemical cancer" is false, it is not.

Probably there are way worse thinks that we don't know around somewhere that affect us way worse than diet cola lol.

I would be more worried about air quality

That way you might come to the conclusion that car-centric infrastructure might be the problem, and we can't have that. Quick, demonise some household item as a distraction! Spatulas cause erectile dysfunction! Let's talk about that ad nauseam.

Most big cities in EU do, only euro 6 cars can pass or electric, or electric buses.

It's a good start, but not even close to being enough. It helps with one of the dozens of problems that car-centrism causes, and tail pipe emissions are only part of the emission package, and none of that is good

Okay, still tastes like complete ass tho.

I think is a coriander like thing where only some people taste it bad.

[–] BrickEater@lemmy.world -2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Do you mean cilantro? And maybe

[–] A_Chilean_Cyborg@feddit.cl 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

coriander is cilantro in English.

I hate when murricans don't translate words to sound fancy, or mean the Mexican version of something.

I've only seen coriander seed, and even in Texas everyone I know Mexican or not calls it cilantro.

what has mexico to do with this?

According to google, cilantro/coriander is kizbara in Lebanese, if we are bringing random countries to the table.

Idk ask the first commenter. I just didn't realize they were the same as they're never sold under the same name in my area.
